So WR, (if I may ask) what weight are you? I suspect you're 85+ Kg as I'm 75 Kg but don't seem to get the bounce no matter how hard I ride (or at least I don't notice it). Just trying to confirm a theory.

i'm 71 kilos! Maybe even lighter by the end of a big ride!and i get the "bounce"!maybe i sit back in the saddle when i am pushing hard? i am not sure... i do tend to shift around in the saddle and I think I prefer bikes a size too small for me (i am 6 feet tall and all my bikes are 56 or 57cms). just my thing.

Can i just say this about brooks and leather saddles:about a year ago i bought a pair of leather sneakers and they were hopeless for about 3 months - but then they became THE best shoes I've ever owned.They are now falling apart cause the straps on my pedals dig into the sides - especially the shoe that has to "unclip" at stops.

but i have bought a new pair of leather sneakers and i am trying to break them in - tough.so leather is your friend - but i am just not convinced by the springs.
